Manual-3
PGM 1
and
PGM 2 Meters
provide true L+R Dual Mono
indication of
Post-Program Fader
signal levels. Ten segment
resolution is provided with a one second peak hold indication.
With the Program Fader set to maximum, the input
GAIN
TRIM
should be set to indicate an average level of about
+4
.
Crossfader
control is implemented using Ranes’ proprietary
ActiveFader™ design. As with the
Program Faders
, all audio
is isolated from the control element, greatly extending the life
and performance of the control. See page Manual-6 for
cleaning and replacement instructions
CROSSFADER CONTOUR
control allows adjusting the
“shape” of the
Crossfader
response from a gentle curve for
smooth, long running fades, to the steep pitch required for top
performance cut and scratch effects shown in Figure 3.
CROSSFADER HAMSTER
control allows reversing the
operation of the
Crossfader
. With the combination of
ActiveFader™,
CONTOUR
control, and
HAMSTER
control,
the
TTM 52
provides a level of flexibility and performance
previously unavailable.
PHONES LEVEL
control adjusts the loudness of the Headphone output signal. Always start with the
LEVEL
at minimum
(CCW) and increase to a comfortable level with signal present and your headphones on. This prevents tossing them across
the room after you put them on and plug in with the level set too high. The
TTM 52
Headphone Amplifier delivers very
high sound pressure levels (SPL) into most headphone loads. Because of the high current and low output impedance,
never
short one side to ground
or
short left and right together as is possible with mono cup headphones. Note: Low power head-
phone stages typically use large resistors on their outputs, which allow shorting, but prevent high power. The TTM 52 gives
you high power but does not allow shorting.
MASTER / CUE
switch is used to select the
HEADPHONES
monitor source:
• Use
MASTER
to rehearse your performance. This signal is the same as that at the
MASTER OUT
, but is not
affected by the
MASTER LEVEL
control.
• Use
CUE
to monitor the Program Input signal, so you can “Cue” a signal before fading in. This signal is not
affected by the
Program Faders
or
Crossfader
.
PHONES PAN
control is only active when
CUE
is selected. This control allows you to
PAN
between
Program 1
or
Program 2
.
HEADPHONES
jack provides a high current output, capable of driving headphones between 8 ohms and 600 ohms.
